Australian Wildlife Conservancy has been engaged by Bullo River Station under a 10-year agreement to deliver scientific biodiversity monitoring, research, weed control, planned burning and feral herbivore management. Much of this work is focused on 350,000 acres (140,000+ hectares) of dedicated conservation areas, as well as working alongside station management with targeted on-ground programs.
Bullo River Station encourages travellers to embrace a new kind of luxury – one that transcends opulence and integrates a profound connection to nature and culture.
Bullo River Station seeks to ignite a sense of responsibility in travellers by promoting an understanding of the land’s cultural heritage and the complexity of its ecosystem.
Bullo River Station is contributing to the broader efforts of protecting and restoring the country’s unique biodiversity, starting with a comprehensive understanding of the property’s ecology and wildlife. Sensitive wetland and riparian areas have been destocked from cattle and in some areas, fences erected to prevent future feral animal incursion.
Currently 80% of Bullo River Station’s electricity requirements are provided by solar power with the remaining 20% coming from diesel generators. The Station also endeavours to be as food self-sufficient as possible, with around half of all fruit and vegetables grown on the property for staff and guests. Bullo has replaced around 80% of single use plastics in its hotel operations, and composts most of its green and organic waste for use back in the vegetable garden.
Bullo River Station’s bold vision stands as a testament to the power of collective action in preserving Australia’s unique landscapes. By uniting the worlds of agriculture, conservation, and tourism, the station is charting a course toward a sustainable future that benefits both people and the planet.
